Well ... so you know why it calls back_comment around the END of the
buffer?

Not monotonously.  Sometimes it's called from the same position (for
example 948653 is at least three times on my list) again.

Hmm ... but the problem is when going to BOB.

And somehow a "current position" is still near the end of the buffer at
that time.
